Step 1 — Power Supply
Before you start make sure that all of the leads have been disconnected from the computer. It is strongly recommended that you leave the computer off for at least 15 minutes to allow the components to cool down.
You should also ground yourself before starting by using an anti-static band or touching a metal object connected to the ground. This prevents static build up which can destroy sensitive components.
Step 2
Round the back of the computer next to the power supply you will find a latch.
In order to release the case pull this latch straight back - this should make the back of the case pop up.
You can now just lift the case up and away from the computer.

First find the two cables going into the optical drive - they are shown in the first picture.

Step 4
To remove the optical drive first find the little blue latch located next to the optical drive.
Pull the latch straight up - at the same time pull the optical drive back. It should now be easy to remove it from the computer.
